A torch song is a sentimental love song typically one in which the singer laments an unrequited or lost love either where one party is oblivious to the existence of the other where one party has moved on or where a romantic affair has affected the relationship. The term comes from the saying to carry a torch for someone or to keep aflame the light of an unrequited love.
